    Push bars

    I’m parting ways with my ‘14 Tahoe and now have a ‘13 Suburban 2500, yes only made for Gov. Knowing the frames are different, anyone know how I can re use my Go Rhino push bar on the Suburban? Is there a source for just new brackets to the frame?

    Rear differential woes.

    Thanks all for your help, currently trying to find locally the 9.5” axle 14 bolt. Mentioned AXN to one place in Philly he said both 8.5 an 9.5 axles are AXN. He got my dial tone after he said that!

    Rear differential woes.

    Thank you for the info, the rear is a JL4, GU6,G80. Checked my RPO codes this morning. So as long as I stick with the above “recipe” a 9.5 axle will bolt in??? Again I have never messed with axles so my knowledge is limited.

    Rear differential woes.

    The fluid change was preventative maintenance. I’ve got 160,000 on it, was used for police use & I never changed before. I was getting the truck ready to pull a camper. This noise started just after our trip. So either I messed it up towing or while pulling it started to go due to the...

    Rear differential woes.

    My rear GU6 G 80 on my 2014 Tahoe 4wd SSV differential is leaving the chat. Under stop n go, light to medium throttle I get a thunk from the back, now turning into parking spot I get a grind, thunk crack. I just changed the diff fluid 500 miles ago, showed no signs of wear. Yes I used the...

    Brake controller

    It’s amazing how all this changed. I had a cateye Silverado. It was easy peasy to plug n play. Now you gotta do all this stuff just to connect a stock brake controller. Yeesh

    Brake controller

    The family is going to try the “glamping” side of the world this summer. We typically tent camp but this time rented a 27’ pull along. The rental place said I need a brake controller in order to pull their trailer. My SSV has the tow package, hitch 7 pin and the selectable tow button on the...

    The flare I mentioned is what your seeing here closest, that would be where the intermediate pipe connects to.

    Exhaust system replacement

    I’ve ruled out the grounds, first thing I checked. Under the hood at the sensors and under the drivers door @ the frame. The o2’s are what changed after the ground check & cleaning. Newest thing today is P0442 & P1333 iirc

    Exhaust system replacement

    My ‘14 is currently being used by college kid to go to n from school 600 miles between the house n his dorm. Pre cursor: The cats are on their way out, getting the whooshing sound and they are getting hot. Looking at replacing the system with a magna flow 51578 system & new 02’s & possibly...

    Transmission woes?

    “Sweating lines”. The trans lines from the trans to the front of the truck radiator external cooler. The fittings from hard line to flex line near the front of the motor are always oily seeping a bit. Hence what I call sweating lines.

    Transmission woes?

    I miss typed this, if I’m doing the converter I’m doing the trans as well. Larger external cooler & programming to get rid of the shudder and improve line pressure etc. My Caprice is a 2014 Caprice PPV. Essentially a Holden Statesman. Longer in body b-pillar back than the Chevy SS. The tuner...

    Transmission woes?

    Looking them up! Thankfully I’m not dealing with hard shifts or to me slippage. Hopefully it’s caught early enough. I get the programming done add a better external cooler, converter, and look into better gearing. The gearing would require both the front and rear to be done.

    Transmission woes?

    It does have the 3.42. It is the plan to get a larger cooler on this thing. I generally see temps steady 190-200 in ambient temps above 60 degrees. This is According to the DIC. We all know that it can be inaccurate

    Transmission woes?

    Thank you for the information. I haven’t dropped the pan yet as the filter & gasket are on order. Weird can’t just go to NAPA n pick one up. Where is the best place to send the fluid to? I’m willing to do either a torque converter or a trans on this truck. It’s paid for it’s our go to in...

    Transmission woes?

    I’m at 155xxx miles on my SSV. Recently had some sluggishness that I thought was throttle related. Replaced TB & Gas pedal with little to no difference. I check my fluids on the truck weekly to make sure all are up to capacity. So here is my ?’s to you all… The trans fluid is getting...

    Heater Hose "T"

    The black one snapped clean off today on my son. Weird thing is it also has a compression fitting on the hose that goes down to the water pump. All suggest the GM one, I see the part #’s here. Gather the white one is around the corner to fail as well. They are a pain in the butt to...

    PCV Valve 2008 xl 5.3 is it pressed in or how to remove?

    Thank you! I’ll look into this more for my 2014 Tahoe. My other thought is to remove the AFM entirely. Going thru removing the AFM on my 14 Caprice now.
